Pediatric Neurology and Neuropathology

I am trained in nutrition, biochemistry, and molecular biology, with more than 20 years of experience in translational neuroscience research in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). My work has generated insights on the molecular mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of AD, and this information has been translated into multiple therapeutic developments. To date, my research has resulted in over 111 papers published in peer-reviewed journals. I have extensive experience with experimental and preclinical studies characterizing the bioactivities of polyphenol components in the brain and the beneficial impacts of dietary supplementation with polyphenol preparations in reducing AD mechanisms in mouse models. A listing of my publications is available online: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/browse/collection/48469360/?sort=date&direction=descending
